Pet care experience

Lifelong owner and lover of dogs.

I've owned and cared for dogs and other animals my whole life. More recently in the past five years or so, I've dog sat for 10+ friends for extended stays without a hitch, ranging from three very yappy adult chihuahuas to inexperienced puppies of all sizes. I've also been responsible for looking after a whole farm's worth of animals, including chickens, alpaca, goats, donkeys, and more. I think my greatest assets as a sitter are my empathy for the animals while staying calmly in control.

Excited to have a new sitter for Fury that we can count on! Dog socialization as well as her not having to be alone while we are at work! Thank you!

Jack was really trustworthy and went above and beyond! He gave me piece of mind when I was at work that my puppy was taken care of.

Our babysitter John was great. We went through wags for a sitter and it was a very bad experience so we got onto Rover and we were already out of town when people kept canceling on us in the middle of the city so we got on Rover. Sitter he was great and even was willing to pick our dog up and drop them off. Definitely will use him again.

He was great with my dog. I have a hard time trusting people with him because he’s such a high energy handful, and there were no issues. I will definitely feel comfortable leaving my doggo with him in the future.

Schedule

I work full-time from home, so my schedule is plenty flexible to give lots of love and several walks or dog park trips a day. Some week nights are available as well as weekends, dependent on other scheduling conflicts.

I can accommodate pretty much any need for any dog if I have a heads up about it. I've cared for some older pets with medication needs so am comfortable in that arena.
